Abstract

The experiment on “Evaluation of dahlia (Dahlia variabilis L.) genotypes for quality, yield and shelf life” was carried out at the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, College of Horticulture, Sirsi, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot, Karnataka during the year 2018 to 2019 with a view to find out the best genotypes for quality, yield and shelf life of dahlia. The genotype HUBD-30 recorded highest individual flower weight (15.33 g), flower diameter (13.52 cm) and length of petals (7.25 cm) whereas, maximum width of petal (3.05 cm) was registered in HUBD-19, highest stalk length (14.04 cm) was observed in the genotype HUBD-12, genotype HUBD-34 registered the more shelf life (6.30 days). Maximum number of flowers per plant (67.40) was observed in the genotype HUBD-26.
